Psalms 8

Douai-Rheims	Bibbia Vulgata Clementina
¹ Unto the end, for the presses: a psalm of David.	¹ In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.
² O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens.	² Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra ! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super cælos.
³ Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.	³ Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos, ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
⁴ For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.	⁴ Quoniam videbo cælos tuos, opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas quæ tu fundasti.
⁵ What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest hi?	⁵ Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus ? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum ?
⁶ Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour:	⁶ Minuisti eum paulominus ab angelis ; gloria et honore coronasti eum ;
⁷ and hast set him over the works of thy hands.	⁷ et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
⁸ Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.	⁸ Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus, oves et boves universas, insuper et pecora campi,
⁹ The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.	⁹ volucres cæli, et pisces maris qui perambulant semitas maris.
¹⁰ O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in all the earth!	¹⁰ Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra !
